Rugged design Compatible with Windows 10 / Mac

I use this switch with a Filco mechanical keyboard and Razer DeathAddler Elite mouse to switch between PC and MacPro 5.1. Pros: * Button for each connected computer. Other models have a single switch that requires you to cycle through all the devices. * Includes cable to connect PC to hub * PC/Mac compatible * Rugged construction, metal body. Cons * There is a small delay between the button press and the transition, especially when moving for Mac, not much, maybe 3 seconds.

  • Best

  • Older model

Works well in external components

Used to switch keyboard and mouse between PC and Raspberry Pi (switch video with input selector, DVI -vs-VGA on monitor. Pi didn't like the real KVMs I had ). gone, works fine. The apartment appears to be of good quality. The keys are of good quality, they press comfortably but not hard - just right. Blue LEDs shimmer across the body - they light up every 4 'holes' which should indicate which input channel is active. So unless you're looking absolutely straight at the device everything is lit…

  • Fun

  • Style 90

Plug and play even under extreme conditions.

One port on MacMini, one port on Raspberry Pi. The Logitech wireless mouse and backlit keyboard are powered by the current USB connection. Works perfectly. Very low switching delay. The device is heavy enough not to try and walk away from you all over the table when you want to make changes. The only thing that would make it perfect: a remote control that could be clipped to the corner of a keyboard or display stand so all the spaghetti would be out of sight.

Pros
  • Best in Niche
Cons
  • Socket required

It's functional, wow!

It comes in a smart box but it has the necessary cables, it's a decent weight so it doesn't shift too much and best of all it works! It just seems to be of higher quality than I expected for the price. I have a monitor with multiple inputs (HDMI and DP) so I can switch between computers, but it doesn't have USB switching. So I have the thing. I chose this one over many others because they used fancy USB-A to USB-A cables, meaning you couldn't just use a pre-made cable if you needed something…

Pros
  • Quality workmanship
Cons
  • I'll text back

I bought this switch to replace my existing IOGear USB/KM switch. This switch only connects to 2 systems and I needed something that would allow me to switch between at least 3 systems. The box itself is well constructed and generally suitable for my needs. However, there was an issue with the USB-A ports on the front, which can be used to connect a keyboard. The USB receiver for my Logitech mouse and keyboard did not simply plug in and out of the port. With the IOGear Switch, that wasn't a…

Pros
  • So far so good
Cons
  • No insurance

High quality USB 2.0 switch.

Very durable product. Small dimensions, high-quality metal body that looks good and does not look like a dilettantish metal box. Highly recommended. Comes with four USB 2.0 cables so it's ready to go from day one. I use it with Mac, Windows and a FreeNAS server with shared mouse and keyboard. I'm thinking of buying another one so I can use my USB2 audio interface and USB2 music keyboard too. Of course, this only applies to my Mac and Windows.

  • Free for educational purposes
